“In this watercolor painting inspired by the Spotted Towhee, you'll notice soft, earthy tones of light browns and subtle greys, transitioning beautifully to highlight the delicate spots. The layering technique creates depth, while gentle brushstrokes define the feather's edges. Splatters and drips add spontaneity, suggesting movement and life.
The piece hints at an understanding of nature's intricacies, inviting reflection and contemplation in its simplicity and elegance.”
